LANTERN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NQ'SDTBBS, dated March 2%,1885.

Application filed March 25, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM H. Kansas and CLARENCE E. SMITH, of St.Louis, county of St. Louis, and State of Missouri, have invented a newand useful Improvement in Lanterns; and we do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use it, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings,forming a part thereof.

Our invention relates to an improvement in tubular lanternsthat is, alantern provided with draft-tubes on each side, made in the manner shownin drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side olevation'of a lantern Fig. 2is a derail view of draft-plates. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of thelantern, showing the globe and supporting parts thrown out of the way,giving access to the burner for lighting, trimming, or other purpose.Fig, 4 is a top view of the lantern with the cap D removed and showingthe tilting disk. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the tilting disk and circulardisks se cured thereto. Fig. 6 is a section of the tilting and circulardisks and circular bearings.

The tubes 0 O are soldered fast to the bot tom and extend upward. At thetop of each is a second tube, J J, the top of which is closed with acap, into which the ears L L for the bail M M are fastened. The lowerends of the tubes J J are perforated with three rows of holes, whichadmit air to the burner. The tubes 0 O extend into the tubes J J withinone-half inch from the top, as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 1, serving asa wind-brake, thus preventing the air from coming too suddenly on theflame.

Near the top and on the side of the tubes J J are fastened the circularbearings I I, in which revolve the corresponding pieces, H H. To theserevolving bearings is fastened the flange G, through which pass the topD and lift-wires G O. The top D has a perpendicular slot, FF, at eachside, through which pass the lift-wires U G, as shown in the drawings.

The slot F F commences near the bottom in the top D and runs toward thetop, then makes an obtuse angle, forming an incline-plane, through whichthe lift-wires O 0 move. The lift 0 O is made in the following manner: A

piece of wire is bent on the lower end and soldered fast to disk B, andthen passes upward through flange G and through the slots F F in the topD, as shown in the drawings. The disk B is perforated with two rows ofholes, and 011 the disk B is soldered a funnel-shaped cone, N N, in sucha manner that the two rows of holes in disk B are divided. One row ofholes comes 011 the outside of the funnelshaped cone NN, and the otherrow on the in side of funnel-shaped cone N N, the purpose of which isthat the air which passes through the inside row of holes in diskB isthrown direct onto the flame, making a steadier and whiter flame.

To operate our invention, the globe A is placed on the disk B, and thetop D is forced down until the lift 0 0 reaches the slots F F, when theyenter the incline-plane by turning the top D, and at the same timesecure the fastening of globe A.

For lighting or trimming, the globe A is raised by pushing upward on thedisk B and swinging it over, as shown in 3, thus giving free access tothe burner.

When in use, the lift 0 O is held secure by the catch K.

Having thus fully described our invention,

what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters 1 Patent, is-

1. A lantern provided with draft-tubes O 0, having the enlarged tubes JJ at the top thereof, said tubes J J being closed at the top andperforated below the tops of the tubes 0 O, substantially as and for thepurpose set forth.

, 2. In a lantern, the combination of the tilting disk G, part D heldtherein, having slots F, connecting-rods C G, and supportingdisk B atthe lower end thereof, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

8. In a lantern, the combination of the movable cap or part D, havingthe slots F, the connect-ingrods O 0, working in said slots at the top,the disk B, connected to the bottom of said rods, and the tilting diskG, through which the part D and rods 0 0 pass, as set forth. a

4. The combination, with the part D, disk B, connecting-rods O, andglobe A, of the tilting disk G, circular disk H H on the sides thereof,and the circular bearings I I for said disks H, substantially as and forthe purpose In testimony that we claim the foregoing we set forth.
